Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pita pockets

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove of fresh garlic, minced

Instructions
 

Prep the Avocado: In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork, leaving some texture for a delightful bite. Mix in the fresh lemon juice, minced garlic (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set this creamy avocado mixture aside to allow the flavors to marry.

    Mix the Veggies: In another bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and fresh parsley. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetable medley, and season generously with salt and pepper. Gently toss the mixture until all ingredients are well-coated.

      Assemble the Pita Pockets: Take each whole wheat pita pocket and carefully open it, creating a pocket for the fillings. Spread a generous layer of the creamy avocado mixture inside each pocket, ensuring the walls are well-coated for maximum flavor.

        Add Feta and Veggies: Spoon a portion of the vibrant vegetable mixture into each pita pocket, layering it atop the avocado. Finish with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to nestle among the colorful veggies.

          Serve: Serve the assembled pita pockets chilled or at room temperature. For added enjoyment, pair with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a light, refreshing salad.
